Naumann's Elephant - Palaeoloxodon naumanni
Palaeoloxodon naumanni, occasionally called Naumann's elephant, is an extinct species belonging to the genus Palaeoloxodon that lived in Southern Japan in the late Pleistocene about 500,000 to 15,000 years ago. Palaeoloxodon naumanni is closely related to the modern Asian Elephant, Elephas maximus[citation needed]. Similar to mammoths P. naumanni had a subcutaneous fat layer and long fur as an adaption to a cold environment. The species had a pair of long twisted tusks and a bulge on the head. These tusks grew more than 2.4 m in length, 20 cm in diameter. It was a little smaller than Asian elephants averaging 2.3 metres (7.5 ft) to 2.8 metres (9.2 ft) in shoulder height and weighing from 1.9 to 4.5 tons. It lived in forest which mixed subarctic conifers and cool-temperate deciduous trees.

Ampelosaurus atacis
Ampelosaurus (/ˌæmpɪloʊˈsɔːrəs/ AM-pi-loh-SOR-əs; meaning "vine lizard") is a titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur hailing from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now Europe. Its type species is A. atacis, named by Le Loeuff in 1995. A possible unnamed species has given Ampelosaurus an age reaching to the latest Cretaceous, from about 70 to 66 million years ago. Like most sauropods, Ampelosaurus would have had a long neck and tail, but it also carried armor in the form of osteoderms 25 to 28 centimetres (9.8 to 11.0 in) long. The four osteoderms found have three different morphologies, they are plate, bulb, and spine-shaped. Ampelosaurus is thought to have measured 15 metres (49 ft) to 16 metres (52 ft) in length and about 10 tons in weight.[1][2] Ampelosaurus atacis is known from many unattached bones and teeth. It is one of the best-known dinosaurs from France.[1] It is considered to be a dwarf sauropod by Coria et al. (2005) because it has a smaller size in comparison with its ancestors.
